What is generative AI?

ChatGPT is just the tip of the iceberg. Generative AI is a technology wave that has the potential to revolutionise customer and employee experience across a wide range of industries.

With its ability to create unique and personalised content, generative AI can enhance the customer experience by tailoring messages and services to individual preferences.

Generative AI can also streamline internal operational processes such as invoicing, sales processes & knowledge management, providing incredible flexibility and efficiency gains.

Why “Time Under Tension”?

With a consistent and controlled amount of “time under tension” you can grow and develop your muscles through physical training. As with our body, training an AI model requires focus, energy and time.

The results of a well trained muscle (or a well trained AI model) are power, speed and agility. Hence, Time Under Tension 💪
